Fox News Is Asking For Another Defamation Lawsuit

It's not just anti-sex trafficking activist Karla Jacinto Romero who has been dragged into politics by Republicans. Fox News has a habit of using people for political gain, like 22-year-old Venezuelan migrant Jhoan Boada, who was smeared by the network before he was exonerated. MSNBC's Chris Hayes takes on Fox News over the network's "misinformation sickness."

"That was Karla Jacinto Romero with good advice that Republicans absolutely refused to take," Hayes said. "Her story, her horrible story, appropriated by Katie Britt. The twisted claims were wildly and grossly misleading. She implied it was happening in the U.S. now because of Biden's border policy."

"But here's the thing. That's gotten a lot of attention. It's a dime a dozen when it comes to right-wing immigrant fear-mongering," he continued. "Remember this guy? Remember him? He's a migrant from Venezuela named Jhoan Boada."
